DESCRIPTION

A yambar configuration file is a yaml formatted document containing an associative array named bar. You may define other top-level entities and reference them using anchors.

Besides the normal yaml types, there are a couple of yambar specific types that are frequently used:

• font: this is a comma separated list of fonts in fontconfig format. Example of valid values:

• Font Awesome 6 Brands
• Font Awesome 6 Free:style=solid
• Dina:pixelsize=10:slant=italic
• Dina:pixelsize=10:weight=bold

• color: an rgba hexstring; RRGGBBAA. Examples:

• ffffffff: white, no transparency
• 000000ff: black, no transparency
• 00ff00ff: green, no transparency
• ff000099: red, semi-transparent
